Dhaka, April 17 -- A fire broke out at Kumargaon Power Plant in Sylhet which has disrupted electricity supply to parts of the city. Around 100,000 residents of city's Ambarkhana and Boteshwar and parts of Golapganj and Balaganjupazilas are undergoing power outage due to the fire.

Power Development Board Sylhet's chief engineer of sales and distribution Mohammad Abdul Qadir said it might take four to five hours before resumption of power supply in these areas.

A total of five units of fire service doused the fire at around 11:00am but smoke was still billowing from the storeroom of the power plant as of filling of the report at 12 in the noon. Alongside fire service men, police were also working to extinguish the blaze.
